Exactly right Joel. Endless discussions beating a dead horse on subjects such as declining participation, logging, arbitrary rules changes and scoring schemes, etc. does more to decrease activity than increase it. A couple of years ago I Un-Subscribed from the forum to keep that huge volume of nonsensical chatter from being far too bothersome. I am an active contester both multi op and Rover. I enjoy seeing what I can do to improve my station, operating, etc. Technical discussions help as does any discussion on improving contesting. However too much browbeating is a negative.
I also spent time generating what I believe to be a thoughtful response to the survey and am disappointed to have heard no feedback yet. I would think a status report would be in order. Perhaps if the ad-hoc committee was doing some useful work, it would cut down endless discussion
